Palworld: How to Get the Best Armor and Weapons

How to Get the Strongest Equipment

Farming Field Bosses

Defeat Field Bosses to collect the best equipment. There is a low chance that Legendary Schematics will drop after defeating a boss.

High Quality Blueprints are equal to High Quality Performance

The quality of blueprints dropped from field bosses depends on its rarity. For example, a Legendary Schematic would perform better in comparison to others. However, crafting these equipment requires more materials, so make sure to gather item drops regularly.

Unlocking Blueprints from Technology

Blueprints will only drop as an item once the player unlocks and crafts weapons and armor from the Technology screen. Although the available equipment in the technology is limited to common rarity, most are powerful weapons and equipment suitable for combat.
